now that's how i want to do my runner! nice nice nice!

 

Well, it looks like we have some similar plans... Once it gets warmer I want to hurculine the rocker panels and around the bottom of my truck (we did the same to my bf's runner this last summer and it looked awesome). I would like a suspension lift in the future (i'm thinkin' with some graduation money-ha). But as for now, I have some 31" m/t's that should be on it by next week. However, I'm still lookin' for some black rims... the ones on mine are nasty. But you definitely have one sweet truck... I'm a bit jealous, but I'm hopin' not to be for long...

 

one little side thing you might want to do...
on mine the turn signals in the bumper were cracked and finally got knocked out in the woods from behind. I've since moved them up to the running light housings by drilling a small second hole. It makes it easier to put a bumper on the front too (I'm building one out of some scrap next week). I dunno if you'll be interested buy I've got a set of 33" x-terrains on black steel wheels that I need to get rid of. They have less than 10,000 miles on them. I only drove them from Tennessee to Auburn AL about 5 times. (250 miles trip) I'm looking at trying to get 500-600 for them. Only had them for 6 months, and most of that time they've been sitting in a parking lot here at auburn. PM me if your interested (I'm in no rush to sell).

 

Just a little update... did some mods to the truck and it's lookin' MUCH better in my opinion.

-31x10.5 Maxxis Bighorn Mud Terrains
-15x8 Black Rock Crawler Wheels
-Herculiner on entire bed, around the bottom of the body, grille, and bumpers (Can you tell I like that stuff?)
-Black Herculined Kobalt toolbox

It was quite a fun process cutting off all of the rust and replacing the areas with fiberglass...

 

That thing is almost as hot as the one who drive it =)

 

DO we get a pic of the girl driving the truck? that would be HAWT!

 

If you REALLY wanna see it go to the significant other pic thread, otherwise I'd watch yourself from now on.
I got my eye on you

 

Hey I want a pic... and I am a chick! Guess I am on the ole' watch list too - LOL

So did all the herculining add a bunch of extra weight. I'd love to have something like that on Tippy , but she is heavy enough as it is. I'll live without in order to save weight up high...

 

To be honest, I really don't think it did add too much weight... it's amazing how far that stuff goes! I mean one can of it, covers EVERYTHING and more and I put two layers of it on everything I did as well.

 

nice truck. looks great. ive got strips on the sides but nuttin over the hood like that. looks good. as for the chick mudder, chap, your my hero. lol

 

I don't know about them racing stripes. Other than that it looks good.

 

Any pics of the rust spots you fixed with fiberglass? I have some big holes in the wheel wells and I'm looking for inspiration to finally fix it..

 

Same here!

Well, I did the fiberglassing when I was back home and left my camera at school so I didn't have anything to take the pics with. And since I have only had the truck for a little over a month, I don't really have many pics at all of before because it was SO ugly! Ha. We did the rust on my bf's 4runner, so tonite when he's off work, we can post some of the before's on his and the after fiberglass...

 

Looks good, I'm just not a fan of black rims.. I like shiny stuff..lol which i don't run in the mud either unless i'm going hunting or fishing

 

I am SO opposite... every bit of chrome on that truck has got to go! And that stuff is tough to cover! The chrome probably wouldn't show up most of the time anyways because it will be covered in mud.

 

I agree 100% about the whole chrome thing. I would much rather have my truck be blacked out along with the red main coat of paint. plus it's easier to touch up if you happen to hit something along a trail.

 

Those door handles are just chromed plastic stuff so any thing you use paint wise has to be compatable. I believe there are paints that are exterior rated that you could use or you could just do a black vinyl wrap.
sharp looking truck anyway

 

where is the pic thread?

 

Cool, another wheeler from IL on yotatech. That makes 4 of us now...a couple more and we have enough for a chapter!
